Chapter 36: The Guardian of the Blue Bird

I stretched out a finger on the head of the blue bird, and the blue bird obediently closed its eyes, allowing me to perceive the words sent back by the third woman with my heart.

Thanks to Xuanyue's presence, otherwise I wouldn't be able to read the letter if I couldn't use any spiritual power at this time.

The third woman said in the letter that the Water Palace had learned about my troubles by Chunxiao in the Imperial City before, and everyone was very worried, and then they knew that Bai Rong was okay and could have a little comfort.

Hua Qing blamed Bai Rong for failing to protect me well, and Jiao Hou said that it was not easy to protect himself in the imperial city. King Jiao sent a letter to the emperor, although he still kept the duty of the courtier, but mentioned: The daughter of our Jiao clan is used to being casual, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn the rules of the imperial city, if it disturbs the purity of His Majesty and the emperor, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can read it for the sake of the loyalty of the Jiao clan, so that the princess of the Jiao clan can return to the water palace safely.

I knew that it would take a lot of courage for King Jiao to say this to the Human Emperor, and I blamed myself in my heart for worrying his old man.

The third woman told me at the end of the letter that the news of the emperor's punishment of Chunxiao also reached the Water Palace, and King Jiao and Dawu were relieved, but Hua Qing's heart was still hanging, and he wanted to come to the imperial city to pick me up, but King Jiao did not allow it, so Hua Qing made a big fuss, was locked up by King Jiao, and was grounded for a few days.

I feel guilty for Brother Huaqing in my heart, and I also miss the carefree days in the Water Palace.

At the end of the letter, the third woman told me: "Su'er, if you don't have a good time in the imperial city, tell me, I will definitely take you out, if someone in the imperial city makes it difficult for you again, I will also let him pay for the blood debt!"

The third woman is really still like a child, although she can't take these marginal words seriously, but my heart is still warm, and in this dim dungeon, I feel hope.

With the letter of the third woman, I slept peacefully for a while this night.

On the second day, someone came to deliver the meal very early, not the female jailer yesterday, but a woman who was not young, bloated and rich, dressed as a grandmother in the palace, and could see that her status was not as good as that of the female officials outside.

It stands to reason that prisoners who enter this dungeon need to be hungry for a day and a night, so the meal brought by this grandma is my first meal here.

When the grandmother came in, she had a straight face, and she could see that she was not a good stubble.

The hosta jade bracelet that I wanted to put up and down yesterday was put aside by me because the female jailer didn't accept it, because I didn't like these makeup things, and it was not necessary in the dungeon, so I didn't put it back on my body.

When the fat lady saw this jade piece, her eyes lit up, and her face changed to a smile, and she said to me flatteringly: "The princess has been in the dungeon for so long, she is hungry, and the slave maid has come to bring you some food." ”

I raised my eyes and looked at the tray in the hand of the woman behind her, it was simple and pitiful, the dishes had not been washed for a long time, there were black stains on the sides, and the food did not look fresh.

Even though I hadn't eaten for a long time, I still didn't have any appetite.

The fat mama looked at my eyes, with a smile on her face, her facial features shrunk into a ball, and her voice was extremely sweet: "The princess smiled, this meal is indeed a little shabby, but it was also found by the slave maid with a lot of effort." ”

I saw that her mouth was shiny, and she had obviously just finished eating meat, so I didn't tear her down, just looked at her lightly, and said, "Then thank you Mama." ”

"Whatever the princess says, these are what the slave and maid should do. Seeing that I understood the rules, she smiled more and more happily, and her eyes stared unabashedly at the hosta and jade bracelet next to me, but her words were not transparent, and she said around the corner: "The princess is a smart person, if she is more sensible, I want to live better in this dungeon." ”

I heard her coercion and temptation, so I picked up the two jade pieces and handed them to her, she was overjoyed, playing with them in her hands, and couldn't help muttering: "The reward that the emperor gave to the princesses is really unambiguous. ”

I was a little disgusted in my heart, and I didn't say anything, I just hoped that she would leave sooner and take the food with her.

Unexpectedly, the fat mama didn't plan to stop there, staring at Xuan Yuepei on my skirt with her eyes, the smile on her face faded a little, and she stretched out her hand to me.

I suppressed the anger in my heart and said kindly: "Mama forgive me, this jade is a gift from a nobleman, and it is really not good to give it to you again." ”

When I said the word noble, I accentuated my tone, hoping that she would at least take into account my identity.

"Noble?" The fat grandmother's face changed a little, and she said coldly, "I'm afraid that in this dungeon, I'm the princess's nobleman, right?"

I felt sick and didn't answer.

She thought I was afraid, and continued to speak arrogantly: "The princess still don't embarrass the slaves and maids, you are so ignorant, and the slaves and maids can't find and take care of you, and there are so many people in the dungeon still waiting to eat." ”

Standing behind Fat Mama are two slightly younger palace people, whose status should still be below Fat Mama, although her face is the same as that of Fat Mama, she is a little more vicious, but in front of me, she is not presumptuous for the time being, maybe she is not as bold as Fat Mama, and she takes into account my identity to some extent.

Seeing that I was still pretending to be stupid, the fat grandmother was anxious, and ordered the palace people on both sides of her to hold me, but the two palace people looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.

"What are you waiting for, she's all the ones who went into the dungeon, who cares if she's a princess or not?"

The fat grandmother said in a rough voice, thinking that not only did she give the two subordinates courage, but she also felt a little weak-hearted, and said: "It's easy to get in this dungeon, but it's not easy to get out!"

The two palace people lowered their heads and walked up to me, and one of them said, "Offend!" and stopped me.

Since I was still weak, they didn't need much strength to keep me moving.

The fat mama stepped forward fiercely, dragged Xuan Yuepei away, and laughed more and more greedily.

"Oops!" cried out the fat mama in pain.

The blue bird flew out of nowhere and pecked hard at the fat mama's face.

The fat mama was angry, so she went to chase the blue bird, and the blue bird flew on the roof of the dungeon, although the dungeon was not high, but the fat mama was short, and she still couldn't reach it after a long time.

The bluebird flew deftly on the roof, and its mouth was still chirping, as if it was deliberately teasing the fat mama.

The fat mama came back angrily with a torch outside the prison door, and I couldn't help but worry about the blue bird, and the two palace people next to me were afraid that they would harm themselves, so they drove me to the side.

No matter how dexterous the blue bird was this time, it couldn't dodge, and the torch in the fat mama's hand hit it hard, and the blue bird suddenly fell to the ground and didn't move.

I felt sorry for the blue bird, and tears fell, just now I kept letting the blue bird fly outside, don't pay attention to me, but it protects my heart and refuses to leave.

"This little brute, it took a lot of effort on my mother's part!" The proprietress looked at my pained look, and became more and more proud, and stepped forward and kicked the blue bird aside with her foot.

The bluebird was still motionless, the feathers on its body were much weaker, and there was a place blackened by torches.

I was sad and indignant in my heart, and glared at the fat grandmother with hatred, if it weren't for the palace people on both sides driving me, I would have stepped forward to fight with her.

"Smack!" the fat mama raised her hand and slapped me in the face with a loud slap.
